NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude oil futures came off earlier lows on Friday, as upbeat U.S. earnings lifted the equities market, helping offset a mixed round of U.S. economic data and another tightening move from China. Crude oil for February delivery was down 16 cents, or 0.2%, to $91.24 a barrel at the New York Mercantile Exchange, well off an intra-day low of $90.06 a barrel.
